Multiple parties can be legally responsible when a food allergy reaction occurs due to negligence:
Food Manufacturers and Packagers
Required to accurately label all allergens and prevent cross-contamination during production.
Must properly train staff, use separate utensils, and follow allergy safety protocols when preparing food.
Can be held liable for selling mislabeled, recalled, or unsafe food products.
Schools and Childcare Centers
Have a legal duty to protect children with known food allergies by implementing safety procedures and emergency plans.
Victims may pursue a food allergy claim under several legal theories:
Product Liability
Florida Statutes § 768.81 allows victims to hold manufacturers strictly liable for defective or mislabeled food products that result in harm.
Negligence
Under Florida Statutes § 768.81, individuals or businesses that fail to exercise reasonable care can be held liable if their actions—or failure to act—caused an allergic reaction.
Breach of Warranty
If a product advertised as allergen-free contains allergens, victims may file claims for breach of express or implied warranty under Florida Statutes Chapter 672.
Premises Liability
Businesses that serve food owe guests a duty of care. A failure to prevent allergen exposure may result in a valid premises liability claim.
Initial Consultation
Meet with a Jacksonville Food Allergy Attorney who will review the facts of your case and evaluate potential claims. This consultation is free.
Investigation and Evidence Gathering
Your Jacksonville food allergy lawyer will collect medical records, product packaging, purchase receipts, and eyewitness accounts. Experts may also be brought in to confirm the source of the allergen.
Filing a Lawsuit
If a settlement cannot be reached, your Jacksonville food allergy attorney will file a lawsuit in civil court. Both parties will exchange evidence and testimony.
Trial (If Necessary)
If a resolution is not reached, your case may go to trial. A judge or jury will determine fault and award damages.
Compensation
You may receive compensation for medical costs, lost wages, long-term care, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
